UAE businesses stay resilient amid global challenges
The UAE's non-oil private sector is traversing its softest growth in nearly four years, with a key indicator marking its lowest level in May 2025 since September 2021. Despite this slowdown, the sector remains healthy, buoyed by strong demand, strategic diversification, and optimism in global trade, as highlighted by recent survey data. While challenges like global economic uncertainty and US tariffs loom, UAE businesses are adapting with agility, maintaining a competitive edge in a shifting landscape. The S&P Global UAE Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) dropped to 53.3 in May 2025, down from 54.0 in April. The PMI stayed above the 50.0 no-change threshold, signalling continued expansion. However, the pace of growth in new orders and output has eased, with output growth hitting its weakest mark in 44 months. Companies cited robust client demand, effective marketing strategies, and diverse product offerings as drivers of new orders, though global trade disruptions, particularly US tariffs, tempered momentum for some. The Dubai PMI, holding steady at 52.9, echoed this trend, reflecting solid but slower expansion, with new orders reaching a four-month high thanks to improved client confidence and competitive pricing. A striking development was the record decline in input stocks, the sharpest in nearly 16 years of survey data, as firms streamlined inventories amid slowing growth and supply constraints. Purchasing activity rose at its slowest pace in 28 months, reflecting cautious stock management. Conversely, employment saw a notable uptick, with job creation reaching a one-year high as firms responded to rising workloads. Backlogs of work, while still significant, grew at their slowest rate in 16 months, indicating a slight easing of pressure on capacity. Inflationary pressures softened, offering some relief. Input cost inflation fell to its lowest since December 2023, with only five per cent of firms reporting higher costs, driven by pricier raw materials and transport. Selling prices rose marginally, as some companies passed on costs while others offered discounts to stay competitive. This aligns with broader trends of declining inflationary pressures, a positive signal for businesses navigating cost challenges. Despite the slowdown, UAE firms remain optimistic about global trade. According to HSBC's 2025 Global Trade Pulse Survey, conducted between April 30 and May 12, 2025, 94 per cent of UAE businesses anticipate strong growth in cross-border activities, outpacing global peers. This resilience stands out against a cautious global backdrop, where two-thirds of firms worldwide report cost increases from trade uncertainties. UAE companies, facing an average seven per cent rise in operational expenses due to tariffs, are countering challenges through advanced planning, digital innovation, and market diversification. This positions the UAE as a leader in global trade optimism, even as geopolitical uncertainties ripple worldwide. Business confidence, however, showed signs of moderation. Only 10 per cent of surveyed firms expect expansion in the year ahead, the lowest optimism since January 2025. This tempered outlook, combined with sharp inventory cuts, suggests firms are bracing for softer growth. Yet, the UAE's non-oil sector continues to perform well, supported by strong fundamentals. David Owen, senior economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence, noted: 'While competitive pressures and weaker trade amid US tariffs have weighed on growth, the UAE economy remains robust. The survey data points to easing momentum but also highlights falling inflationary pressures, offering a silver lining.' 'From an overall perspective, the survey signals that the UAE economy is performing well, but the softer increases in output and new orders hint at momentum easing. Furthermore, the sharp cutback in stocks (which was the fastest on record) and the broadly subdued outlook for activity suggest that firms are gearing up for softer growth,' said Owen. 'Positively, the survey data backs up the trend of falling inflationary pressures, as businesses saw input costs rise at their slowest rate since the end of 2023,' he added.

Here's what the latest S&P PMI index says about the UAE
Image courtesy : Getty Images In a positive sign for the labour market, employment growth reached its highest level in the UAE in a year, as businesses expanded their workforce to meet rising workloads, according to the latest data from the This increase in staffing came even as the pace of backlog accumulation softened, according to S&P. Hiring activity was supported by a continued increase in new orders, although many firms appeared to be balancing expansion with caution as broader economic conditions showed signs of moderating. Read- Employment growth was the strongest seen in exactly one year. Respondents often attributed this to elevated workloads, as rising new orders contributed to another sharp increase in backlogs of work. That said, the pace of accumulation did soften slightly to a 16-month low, according to the index. Growth in the UAE's non-oil private sector economy The growth in the UAE's non-oil private sector economy slowed notably in May. The headline index also fell to its lowest level in nearly four years, signalling a softer but still solid improvement in business conditions. The seasonally adjusted PMI slipped to 53.3 in May, down from 54.0 in April. Although this marked the weakest performance since September 2021, the index remained above the 50.0 threshold that separates growth from contraction, pointing to continued expansion in the non-oil sector. Despite the dip in the headline figure, demand conditions across the UAE remained resilient. Companies surveyed reported a sustained rise in new orders, supported by favourable demand, strong client relationships, effective marketing strategies, and a diverse range of products. However, the rate of increase slowed slightly compared to previous months. As a result, business output also expanded, although the pace of growth moderated to its weakest since mid-2021. According to respondents, higher sales volumes continued to support activity, but some firms cited global economic uncertainty, particularly in connection with US tariffs, as a factor weighing on output levels. David Owen, Senior Economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence, noted the implications of the latest data. 'UAE non-oil firms signalled that growth had slowed in May, as the headline PMI fell to its lowest point since September 2021. Although businesses continued to welcome strong demand from their clients, there were some reports that competitive pressures and weaker trade amid US tariffs had weighed on growth,' he said. 'From an overall perspective, the survey signals that the UAE economy is performing well, but the softer increases in output and new orders hint at momentum easing. Furthermore, the sharp cutback in stocks (which was the fastest on record) and the broadly subdued outlook for activity suggest that firms are gearing up for softer growth,' Owen added. Drop in inventory as firms adjust stock levels One of the most striking developments in May was a record fall in input inventories, as businesses sought to streamline stock levels in response to cooling demand momentum. The drop in inventories coincided with a slowdown in backlogs of work, which grew at their weakest rate in 16 months. While workloads remained elevated due to strong sales, firms appeared increasingly cautious about future activity levels, adjusting their supply chains and inventory holdings accordingly. Cost pressures eased notably in May. Input price inflation slowed to its lowest rate since December 2023, providing some relief to firms. Only 5 per cent of respondents reported an increase in input costs compared to April, with some citing higher raw material and transport costs. Meanwhile, selling prices increased for the fifth consecutive month, though the rise was marginal. Companies noted that efforts to pass on higher costs to clients were offset in some cases by the need to offer discounts to remain competitive. 'Positively, the survey data backs up the trend of falling inflationary pressures, as businesses saw input costs rise at their slowest rate since the end of 2023,' Owen commented. Dubai sees growth In Dubai, the PMI held steady at 52.9, unchanged from April and marking the joint-lowest reading since early 2022. Nonetheless, the figure indicated continued growth in the emirate's non-oil private sector. New orders in Dubai rose at a four-month high, supported by improved client confidence, effective marketing, and competitive pricing. Business activity expanded sharply, though the rate of increase remained among the weakest seen in four years. Inventory levels in Dubai fell for the first time in 2025, while job creation was described as mild. Input cost inflation in the emirate also eased, reaching its lowest level in 17 months, helped by reduced inventory pressures. The S&P Global United Arab Emirates PMI is compiled by S&P Global from responses to questionnaires sent to purchasing managers in a panel of around 1000 private sector companies. The panel is stratified by detailed sector and company workforce size, based on contributions to GDP. The sectors covered by the survey include manufacturing, construction, wholesale, retail and services.
